I'm contemplating setting up a 17'x48" above ground pool in the back yard. I've researched online and have the basics down, but I'd like to learn from others' mistakes instead of learning from my own. So, if you've done this, please chime in with any words of wisdom. Also...
1. metal frame vs ultra frame?
2. Intex advises not leveling the ground with sand. I don't need a lot of leveling done, maybe a couple of inches at most, but sand seems like it would be the easiest to work with. Soft top soil in bags would need compressed and I don't have a good way to do that and still level it out. I do know that I want it perfectly level.
3. do I need to do anything special to avoid stress or tears in the liner?
